The Prosecutor General office made a statement they are investigating cases of killing of 54 Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russians.
The Prosecutor office representative commented on the video that appeared on social networks on April 7. According to the preliminary information, the war crime took place near the village of Krynky in Kherson region.
As the details are still being verified, he called for caution because the names of the victims has not yet been confirmed.
According to the Prosecutor General office, the cases of executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war have been registered since March 2022. The first Russian military has already been sentenced for the murder in Chernihiv region.
Investigations are complicated by the fact that prosecutors often do not have access to the crime scene or the opportunity to examine the body, but they are actively working to solve these crimes in cooperation with various international organizations and agencies.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
